Still here. Two weeks at the end of this evening. IWNDWYT

IWNDWYT. Hope everyone is having a good and sober weekend. Day 10 for me and things are settling down nicely

A week done. Actually went to the pub last night to meet some old friends. While we have drunk together before the relationship is based on long distance cycling so we’re comfortable sober together. Everyone else had a few but I stuck to 0% IPA and had a great time. Full memories including agreeing to getting a bike out soon (eek). Proved to myself I can do this. IWNDWYT

Yep I think I’ve been here so often now, filling the time isn’t an issue. I’ve got at least two long term projects (IT related) and all kinds of little things so I’m never bored. My issue seems to just be a switch goes saying let’s have beer. It’s not even a craving because it’s not a period of time, not even a few seconds, it’s instantaneous. If I feel invested, that doesn’t happen though.

Coming to the end of week 1. All day 1s feel the same: never drinking again, need to stop etc. Day 7 I really notice a difference, although my mind is saying “yep we can do it this time” quite often the little voice isn’t as invested. This time I feel fully invested in this so I have hope. IWNDWYT

Day 6 coming to an end. I did not drink with you today

Day 5. IWNDWYT

Checking in for day 2. IWNDWYT

Day 1 again for me. IWNDWYT

I was comfortable and I can’t blame my partner who brought up drinking. It was my call but once the idea was in my head it just took hold. Will try again though

I hit two weeks if I make it through today. IWNDWYT

Why didn’t she just show her ticket when asked to do so?

Day 13 and still here. IWNDWYT

Yep depending on how long you’ve been drinking for, the habits are deeply ingrained. Mine go into bigger things than things like dinner: it’s sunny, have a beer; on a train journey, have a beer. I’m only at day 13 in the current cycle but, should I make it that far, I have a train trip to Paris at the end of Sept which will be a challenge

Who downvoted this? Day 12 for me and IWNDWYT

Hey at least I’m not alone over here 😊. IWNDWYT
